Notice, she doesn't deign to call him General. 

It is usual and customary for military personnel to use "sir" and "ma'am"
out of respect, in addition to official titles, as is conversationally
appropriate. They are often so polite and respectful along these lines that
it is awkward listening to them, when everyone else in our culture has
gotten so crass and self absorbed. Like Ma'am Senator.

I can't stand these cocky, condescending, effete, know-it-all, kiss-my-ass
politicians. Barney Frank is another one that revels in this kind of
pointless down-putting display of power and status.

Boxer deserves new title. She's earned it.

Ex-senator.
